SK Intelix has signed a four-party agreement with Daesang Wellife, Hangang System and Rexsoft to develop and test elder-care services based on its Namuh X robot, the company announced on 6 November. Representatives from the companies held the signing ceremony on 5 November at Seoul National University's Hoam Faculty House.
Under the partnership, SK Intelix will direct the trial project and supply the Namuh X robot. Daesang Wellife will provide access to its distribution network of nursing hospitals and care homes, while Hangang System will connect facilities using its care management software. Rexsoft, a data science company spun out of Seoul National University, will oversee data integration and linking services with care enterprise software.
The companies plan to verify functions needed in care facilities, including fall detection and automated patrol logging, with an aim to commercialise and sell combined service packages.
Kim Hyung-jin, head of the Namuh X division at SK Intelix, said the agreement would broaden where the robot is used and provide an opportunity to test services needed in actual care settings.
